For instance, a basic token transfer uses fewer CUs than a multi-swap operation across decentralized exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>This upgrade is part of a broader effort to address execution constraints observed during periods of high network activity. Solana raised the CU limit to 50 million in June as a precautionary step to prevent disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of that implementation, developers moved forward with the second phase of lifting the cap to 60 million CUs.<\/p>\n<h2>Expanding Solana blocks<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mumtaz revealed that the team aims to eventually double the block capacity to 120 million CUs.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the increase would allow developers to build more expressive applications and reduce transaction fees, especially as demand grows.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan Watt, Vice President of Core Engineering at Anza, has already <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bw_solana\/status\/1948085204004045175\">confirmed<\/a> that he has merged a Solana Improvement Document (SIMD-0286) proposing a further increase to 100 million CUs. This reflects the network's ongoing push to accommodate higher transaction volumes and enhance user experience.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether Solana's block capacity might eventually become uncapped, Watt noted that core developers continue to debate the issue.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, while unlimited execution could enhance flexibility, it also raises concerns about potential abuse. Therefore, he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bw_solana\/status\/1948089295178518784\">noted<\/a> that &#8220;execution needs to be bound to protect from abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watt added that static analysis or metering may become more useful if the network shifts toward asynchronous execution models.<\/p>\n<p>The update comes as Solana's price recently hit a five-month <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/solanas-break-above-200-signals-institutional-appetite-potential-to-lead-next-capital-wave-on-altcoins\/\">high of over $200,<\/a> fueled by institutional interest and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/defi-development-corp-to-raise-100m-for-solana-treasury-acquisitions-ahead-of-etf-launches\/\">rising adoption in corporate treasuries<\/a>.
